The public journals contain A representation of the Mu nicipality of the capital city of Hildburghausen, to his Higill!ess the Duke, ;.'n which 'we find the following pas sages It seemed to all of us impossible that the fattier would leave the children, who have lived through many Years of difficulty with him, just at the moment when better times may be hoped for. The greater and mere general was the consternation and grief of all the inha bitants of this city, when a few days ago a report was spread to the effect, that if not certain, it was highly pro bable that the principality of Hildburghausen would be ceded, and the city cease to be the regidence of the Prince. We know very well that the arguments which we have to allege in our favour, are frequently regarded as of no weight in the scale in which the fates of nations are weighed. But 'here, where in one scale, there is perhaps only a handfe.l of subjects more, or a more convenient mode of partition, and on the other a whole innocent city and its en:l-irons which :will be for ever ruined ; when no war, no inexorable fate commands such a hard measure, we may surely hope and beg, that your Highness will not abandon the country which providence has confided to your Highness's paternal care, and will not suffer those who are less able to bear such a misfortune than any other city, shall become the victims of circumstances." In ex planation, of the above article, it is to be observed, that accordbg to a report in circulation, the Duke of Hilden, hausen will in future take up his residence in the beauti ful town of Altenburg. The Frankfort Journal of the 21st inst. which has reached us this morning, contains the following ar ticle, under date of Rome, Bth July, taken from the Diario de Roma, which gives a more favourable re port of the remaining resources of the Greeks:— ROME, JULY 8. Accounts from Corfit of 26th June, by express, say, that " Ibrahim Pacha, after having made himself muter of Calavrita, sent 4 , 0;)0 men to besiege Megaspileo, and went with the commander of his troops towards Tripolizza. Some days aftemards the monastery of Megaspileo fell into his power ; and it is affirmed, that it contained great riches,and the treasure of the Morea. Ibrahim Pacha s co lumn halted: at Tripolizza. Letters affirm, that he is himself ut:lVfodon, waiting for the 6th expedition from Egypt. " Yn the interval the Government are engaged in Collect ing all their forces. Col. Gordon has the command of a!oput 5,000 men, Col. Fabvier has about 3,000, and. Co )oeotroni is doing his utmost to collect 12,000. He has the, chief command of all this army. This number does not include the garrison of the fortresses which are in the possession of the Greeks. There are Napoli di Romania, Napoli 'di MalvOnia, Argos, Corinth, Salomis, Athens, and Brosin. Exertions are also making to supply them with provisions turn ammunition. On the Ist of this month, it was calculated that about five millions pounds of flour and biscuit had been received at Napoli di Romania. Three Av.strian vessels, coming out of the Gulf of Le panto, were stopped a few days ago by a Greek pirate, who took them to Cheavenza. On their arrival, the pirate put every thing.he could on board the largest of the ves sels, •and released the two others, after having maltreated the crews. He then went with his booty to Maina. This same pirate likewise attempted to take an Austrian polacre, but the latte4armed with eight guns, defended itself, and fired some rounds of grape-shot, which killed three of the Greeks, and 'wounded six. It is said that the Austrian Minister at Madrid, has positively declared to the diplomatic corps, that the Emperor will never consent to the establishment of the new Constitution of Portugal. The letters which we lately stated as having been xeceived from, Bombay to the Bth March, state the death of the.. celebrated native merchant Hamajee Bomajee, who; it is supposed, died worth two mil lions sterlink.. These letters are said t o h ave b een taken by Kajor Kinnair, resident in Persia, to Teke ran, from whetted they were forwarded in regular Counteto England. We und ers t an d that a Deputation, composed of se=. vend persons of respectability from Birmingham, have arrived in town, and are to have an audience of Lord Li vERPOOI. and Mr. PEEL, by appointment, this day. The object of this deputation is to submit to His Majesty's Ministers a statement of the distress which exists in the Manufacturing Districts, and the , opini o n o f the principal persons in those Districts as to th e c a use of it, and its. probably consequences un less the .Geivernment afford. some relief. It is said, also, tha t a meeting is to be held' this evening _ the _ unemployed Weavers of SPitalfields,Tor the purpose of petitioning the assistance of Government. In what way, either of . th ese parties expect that Ministers can afford immediate relief, . has not transpired: nor, has any plan yet beep suggested by w hi c h it can be granted, except. by assessing part o f t h e Poor h a tes of •. the districts i n question upon less distressed parts (/f the Country, and th e emp l oy M ent 'on Pub.', lic Works ~ of the hands not likely to be again engaged in the Manufactories. Partial relief to the Master Manufacturers, by tile additional facility which may he afforded to them of getting their bills discounted throu g h the Ilinch Banks of the Bank of England to be established in certain places, may certainly be given ; hut we do not conceive that this can do much, because although the want of capital may have been the cause of many establishinents discharging their workmen, easier means bf 'obtaining the use of capital will not induce them to re-engage their men, until a market f oi . th e sale of the articles they may produ ce b e open to them: This can on l y b e t h e effect of time ; and, there fore, in that respect the measure of the Bank cannot pro duce ally material 'alleviation of the present distress of th e manufacturing districts. It is thought also by many persons o f the greatest experience in Banking concerns that the experiment 'of the Branch Banks cannot sue_ teed and that the losses to which they will render the Bank liable, will prevent the establishment of any ex tensile nurrtibcr of them. 1 - ...'hose persons argue that th e pollen! pigvate Banks which' persons present exist in Man chester, Birming4m, and such places, already afford all the manufacturers whose credit is good, as much accom. tnOdatiOn as they require ; and that if, as reported, these Branch Banks are to discount more extensively and at unusually long dates, the result must he most Prejuditial to the Bank of England; More parcul as the pe rsons managing these establishments ti will lar not possess that knowledge of all those local circumstances Of the i t art i eS to whom accommodation may be granted, Which is e s sen ti a lly re q u i s it e f or carrying on *lcing hilshless with success. Atnts.werellublishe4l yesterday, in pursuance of orders from the- late He of Commons, of the offi cial value of the imports from and exports to France, in the year 1825, from which it appears that the int- ports from France in that year amounted, according to the official value, to 1,790,5611., on which the sum of 1,605,786/. was paid as duty. The official value of the exports to France, in the same year, was 1,171,4701., viz.— Foreign and Colonial Merchandize - - - £899„295 Bridal and Irish Manufactures and Produce 279,115 But the declared value of the latter exceeded consider ably, the official value, being stated at 860,6311. We were hardly prepared to find that the whale value of articles of actual British and Irish production, exported to France, bore so small a proportion to the value of French goods imported into this country.

LAW INTELUG tNe E. COURT OF CHANCERY.--(Tms DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF LADY GRESLEY. Mr. TINNY stated, that a Commission of Lunacy was to be executed on Monday next at 13erwick-upon. Tweed, but that some of the parties interested in the estate and affairs.of her Ladyship, considered it ex tremely necessary that that Conunission should he superseded, and that another should issue, to be opened in London. He held in his hand a petition for that purpose. His LOIIDSHIP said, from what he had already stated in lunacy, he was bound to read every petition presented to him before he muted the prayer of them, and therefore he desired to see the present petition. He wished likewise to know if notice of it had been (riven. _ _ Mr. TINNY said no ; it had been utterly impossible to have given noti ce f rom want o f time. His LORDSHIP observed, that notice to the agents in town would do, if they were known. Mr. TINNY knew them, aid if his Lordship pleased, notice might be given to them in the course of the day. His LORDSHIP ordered notice to be given to them immediately, that the petition should come on on Monday. Mr. TINNY hoped his Lordship would stay pro ceedings in the meantime, which his Lordship com plied with. HODSON D. QUARRY. Mr. DUCICWORTII stated, that in this case the Court had been pleased to direct an issue to try to whom 15,0001. belonged. The assignees, and other parties, had agreed to divide the fund rather than go to law, there to tear themselves to pieces. His LORDSHIP thought he ought to see the peti tion to know whether that was right or not. He de sired to be furnished with the petition, which he pro mised to read and consider. TELLISON V. WOODFORD. Mr. Hart said, in this case, a reference had been made to the Master to enquire whether it would be . reasonable and proper that an app li cat i on s h ou ld b e made to Parlia ment respecting the sale of some property ; that the Muter had reported it would; that if the Court should confirm the report it would be extremely material that the parties should be preparing to go there at the first meeting of the House, and therefore the present application was, for leave to have the case put into his Lordship's paper.—Leave granted. DOMVILLE r. SOLLT AND OTHERS. This was a motion that occupied the whole of yesterday, and a great part of to-day. Messrs. Sugden and Swanstone were Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Palmerston for the defendants. The defendants were gentlemen who carried on mer cantile business in St. Mary Axe, to a considerable extent. Their father Avas originally in the business, and a ft er hi s death, Mrs. Solly and the defendants, her sons, continued it. In 1819, Mrs. Solly died. Previous to her death, she was extremely anxious to know the exact extent of her interest in the business, that she might not, as she expressed it in her letters to her sons, have her me mory reproached by a statement that she had given lega cies by her will, which she had not property to answer. Over and over again she was assured by the defendants, that the interest amounted to at least 100,0001. Her property, after her decease, was sworn to amount to under 100,00 W. The defend ants stated, in 1821, that all debts due from the partnership were paid off in December, 1816, and that, from that time, they had received no less than 1,427,269/. The plaintiff is a solicitor, a co-executor with the defendants, And son-in-law of the testatrix. When the legatees came to asks for their legacies, the defendants turned round and said, though they hid made the representations to their mother of her interest being to such a large extent, yet that, by deductions not then adverted to, Mrs. Sony's interest did not amount to more than 17,0001., which had been paid to her credit. The result was, the filing . of the present bill, Calling for an aceount of all the part nership accounts, and laying the foundation for the present mo tion, that the Conk 'would order 31,000/. to be paid into Court, on the ground, , as the 'plaintiff thought, that on every principle ap plying to the case, this sum, and more than this sum, must b e l due to the testatrix, anti that a receiver might be appointed on the estate. His Loanutte expressed himself to theifollowing effect at the close of the arguments: This was an exceedingly important mo tion: There was no doubt that the ordinary rule of the Court was, that where money was asked to be paid into Court, it was necessary to prove that the money was in the hands of the parties against whom the motion was directed. The Court, however, could not say that a defendant should be at liberty so to frame his answer as to make it extremely difficult to find out whether that balance was admitted to be in hand or not: Affidavits explanie. tory of a defendant's answer might be called for, because it was the incumbent duty of the Court, particularly where executors and partners were concerned, to know the truth of a case, even though by affidavit, to explain an answer. In the whole course of his Lord ship's judicial life, he had not seen a more important case, and one in which more serious and distressing questions might arise at the hearing of the cause, than the present; and he spoke feelingly and sincerely when he said he did not believe the defendants were aware of the difficulties in which they might be placed, if this cause were to go on. As the Court understood the case, there had been two partnerships here ; one between the testatrix and her two sons, Thonias and Isaac ; the other was between Samuel and Hollis; as well as a Dantaic trade carried on by another son of the name of Edward. When those partnerships were formed were not material, but the one in which Mrs. Solly was a partner, determined in December, 1816. Her late partners were her representatives, as a deceased partner; and also her re presentatives, as her co-executors, and therefore they came here in 1826, under this prima facia manifest obligation, that they were bound, and because bOund, at least to be expected to be able to give a clear account of the property due the testatrix, and their late partner ; and this motion the Court was compelled to consider not only as a motion against the defendants, who are executors, but as a motion against sham, .in the. character of partners also. The account of what the testatrix's in terest was represented to be, when probate of her will was taken out, happened to be a most material circumstance ; and how it came to pass that statements were made of immenie sums being due to . Mrs. Solly, front time to time, both before and after her death, if the small sum of 17,0001. now alleged only to have been due and paid, would have to be most clearly, distinctly, and satisfactorily explained by the defendants when the cause came to be heard. What was to be done on the present motion would have to be regulated by the strict rule of the Court ; and the dif eulty that struck his Lordship, for some time, was to know the sum, after all the necessary deductions were made, that ought to be considered as admitted to be in the hands of the de fendauts, belonging to their mother, and which they should pay into Court. As, to the dealings respecting a timber contract, Mentioned in the pleadings, there was an extraordinary mystery; the defendants, however, should have the opportunity o f explain ing the altering of the accounts, &c. with regard t o t hi s part o f their statement. The result of what was before the Court was, that Thomas was indebted to the partnership ; that there were no debts due from the partnership, - as far as his Lordship could find out ; that 68,000/. had been received by the defendants beyond their payments, and the question was, how much of that sum could reasonably be ordered into Court. His Lord ship's opinion was, that the thirty-one thousand pounds sought to be paid in, was sufficiently acknowledged in the answer to be due, an d i n t h e h an d s o f t h e defendants, to authorise the Court to make the order for the bringing of it in. As for a receiver, this was likewise a case in which it was high time that a receiver should he appointed on the estate, and therefore the order should be made as prayed. The defendant* might make an affidavit, if they pleased, explanatory of their Dantaic dealings ; and if they did, the Court would hear it on Tuesday next. Mr. SUl:Mati was confident that they never, would attempt to make such an affidavit. He wished to know when the Court would he pleased to order the -bringing in of the money. He wished to give a reasonable time. After a few observation:4 as to the time of paying the Money, it was ordered, flat the 81,0001. should be paid into Court, on or before the first day after the first seal. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S' COURT.—(Tura Dar.) DINISDALE V. RTDIII.. Mr. JACOB said, that he was instructed to make a motion on behalf of the plaintiff in this ease, under the following circum stances. An action had been brought some years ago by the de fendsnt against the plaintiff for 9001, the former representing hitriself as the executor of a person to whom the,plaintiff was in debted to that amount ; the latter knowing thiethere was a just claim against him, made no defence to the action, and the con sequence was, that judgment was obtained against him, and he wait ordered to pay 900/., with costs, to Ryder; in.default there of, he was thrown into prison, where he remained up , to the pre sent time, Dimsdale not doubting all along.but that Ryder was executor as he represented himself, but he subsequently t2is covered that the representations of Ryder were false, and that not he but another person, named Benjamin Ryder, was the real executor, who threatened him with another action in the same cause. In this dilemma the plaintiff besea-hed the inter ference of this Court : he was too late to have judgment arrested, a writ of error could not lie ; there was no relief to be found in any quarter, except in equity. The judgment was evidently wrong. The only difficulty was, how the Court could remedy it. It could not make an order to discharge the plaintiffs. Simply the motion he should make would be, that the Court do order that the defendant should consent to the discharge of the plaintiff. The VICE..CHANCILLPR said, that the granting of that mo tion would be making a decree in the cause.—Motion refused. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-(Tul S DAY.) Rawlins Satterthwaite, Esq. was brought up and opposed by Mr. Heath, on behalf of Mr. Webber, and by Mr. Farebrother, (the Sheriff elect) in person. Mr. Farebrother stated that he wa* a surveyor, that his opposition arose from no malicious motive, but merely to know the state of the insolvent's affairs, who, he said, had dealt very unfairly with him ; for,: after promising to make over an assignment of some freehold property for 400/. and hav ing given orders to that effect to his attorney, witness advanced the money—and the insolvent then made over the freehold pro perty to another person. The insolvent then underwent a strict examination, respecting his expenditure; he admitted that while in prison he had a room entirely to himself, and had kept a girl ; that previously his ex penditure amounted to 4.00/. a-year. Mr. Heath suggested the propriety of referring the ease to Mr. Dr:ce, the provisional assignee. After some observations by Mr. Cooke and several creditors, Mr. Heath's suggestion was com plies' with, and the 'insolvent was remanded until next week, when the Master's report will be read. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.--(Tins DAT.) Martha Brown, a woman who has been long an annoyance to the city, and who has supported herself and her husband when ever he has been confined in Newgate, by levying contributions on drunken gentlemen, was brought before Alderman SCHOLTY, charged with having endeavoured to rob several persons last night, in the neighbourhood of Aloorfields. The patrol stated that the prisoner, who labours hard in her vocation, and throws a sort of disguise over it by carrying a child in her arms, followed several gentlemen, evidently for the purpose of robbing them. She was observed to be more attentive to gen tlemen who were drunk than to those who were sober ; but, not withstanding her skill and experience, she failed altogether last night, and finally got, as abe called it, herself " shoved into the h—y watchhouse." Not liking her lodging, or the gentry by which she was recognised, she made a blow at an ancient pro tector of the peace, and soon laid him flat. Before the astonished watchman could recover his legs, she gave him a kick in the ribs, which rattled as if they were the ribs of his lanthorn up ran another of the fraternity, who was now able to parry her blows, but his face soon proved that though it escaped her fists, it was reached by her nails, which made a riddle of his check.— She " tarred out" several others of the watch in like manner, but was at length overpowered. During her exertions her tongue kept pace with her hands, and she bestowed upon the whole of the privileged residents of the watch-house such names as they' were ashamed to mention. The defendant said she never meant any offence to the gentle- Men, and declared that she had quite altered her way of life for the last two years. Alderman ScirotaY hoped that residence, and wholoqome ex ercise in Ilritlewell for a month, would serve her morals and colt stitution, and committed her accordingly. GUILDHALL. —(THIS DAY. ) CITY FEAATING.—A young man waft placed at the bar, on a charge of having knives, forks, wine, and cyder, in his posses sion, the property of the Ironmonger's Company. The patrol of Castle Baynard Ward stated, that about eleven o'clock the night before, he saw the prisoner carrying the basket now produced, in Thames-street ; and, perceiving it very heavy, proceeded to examine the contents, when he found it nearly filled with knives awl forks, and three bottles of wine. The prisoner then said he was bringing it from Iron Monger's Hall, where it had been given him by a waiter. Tim beadle and eelfarman of the iron►nonger's company, Mated that the Wet% and forks had been given tu the waiter to clean, and would, no doubt,. have been safely returned. One bottle of wine had been given to the. Waiter, and the other they had no doubt, was:obtained by adding the bottoms of bottles left after drinking together, till they u►ade lip a full one, and giving it to the company, anti keeping a fresh orift.in lieu .of, it. The third bottle was cider. The worthy Alderman said, be was confident there was a great pilfering of the wine belonging to public Companies; he supposed as he had dined with the Ironmonger's Company yesterday, that he had got his share of the bottoms that were added. It was ne cessary to make an example to prevent' the practice of pilfering, he would therefore remand the waiter; and discharge the assistant, who appeared to have received the basket innocently. B OW-STREET,—( ts DA Y. ) • John MOrialta was charged by a man named Kelly with hay. ing assaulted him ; he stated, that he had been summoned by the prisoner for debt, and on leaving the Court of Requests the prisoner followed, and jogged him, saying, that if he waa hull a man he would spiphlicate him. Sir R. Btu/ay.—Why, what trade are you ?—Complainant— A painter.—Did he lose the day then ?—No ! only half of it. Did he lot* the cause ?...—No! but he lost his temper.—Ordered to find bail. MARLBOROUGII-6TREET- 7 (Tnis D►Y.) A most extraordinary looking being, without shoes, stockings, or shirt, with a cabbage-stalk in his mouth, another peeping out of his hreeches pocket, and nearly enough of crusts, cabbage-leaves, and dirty potatoes in his hat to feed a pig for a week, was brought to this office for begging in the streets. He was well known to the officers, who described his mode of levying contributions as peculiarly ingenious. On the approach of a respectable person, he commences picking up pieces of dirty crust, &c. (which he has previously dropped), and eating them with astonishing avidity.— By this means he seldom fails to excite the pity, and extract the pence of the passenger. He has the look of an idiot,but has frequently proved more knave than fool. Some time since he was taken into the workhouse and yentedy clothed in a suit of parish gray, he, how. ever, made his escape, and, after changing his dress, re►umed his former mode of life, and was taken by the officers in the act. The Magistrate considered him incorrigible, and committed him to the tread-wheel for a month. ATTACK BY FOOTPADS UPON A. STAGE COACH THIS MORNING. 'This morning, between one and two o'clock, as the llereford Charupion was proceeding to town, it was stopped at the summit of Featherbed !lull, in the vicinity, of West Wycomb. As the descent of the bill is exceedingly steep, it is customary .to pull up to lock one of the wheels, and just as the coachman had done to a man sprung from the hedge, and, in an authori tative tone, demanded the money from the passengers, consisting of two or three persons. The coachman and guard supposing that this attempt was a mere sailor's frolic, the tbotpad, being habitat! in nautical attire, asked him whether he was mad. The footpad replied, by putting a dog whistle to his mouth, which instantly brought an associate similarly hebited. The coachman and guard not ktiowing how formidable a gang there might be in ambush, thought it more prudent to drive down the hill without locking the wheel, than to fall into the hands of of which desperadoes, and the former started at full speed- - -he had not pro ceeded a hundred yards before a shot was tired, whio z h it s i l , e o r u f o r d o e m d theyue cl that did nott h e d ba er n a d n it t t i i sh li o n t yi the near wheel horse near the neck.. This caused a delay of more than 20 minutes, during which time the passengers (who, wi r th en t ia t i e ne ex d e i e n p d ti t u e n id o fu f l o a l t e rin ge . ntleman, were incapable of s o i f tio r n esis th ta at n the guard would use his fire-arms, further pon der po th w t take advantage of the disaster, and the coach proceeded to London without further molestation. • p a ssengers 141emingenrsiad::revainnot t h reat, or ENGLISH OPERA•ECILISE.-111r. G. Pettson (the Gentlemen who made so decided a hit the other evening in the Barber of Seville) haw again appeared at this Theatre as Mr. D. p.• Bustle, in the laughable farce of Amateurs and Actors. The talents of this new candidate for dramatical celebrity, are of a very superior order, so much sou to render him a valuable mqui.._ swum to any metropolitan theatre. In the second act of Aha ferce he introdueed.the Italian Aria Buffo, Amor Perch n,i pizzic t, in so effective a manner, as to procure an enthuaialtic and unsoi mous encore. He was, indeed, the soul Of the piece, and we . shall be glad to have more frequent opportunities of speaking al him as he defierres. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. THE KING'S COURT.
